Handloom
Patola-style silk
Rust and ivory, single ikat
SKU AIS-PTL-0004 · Woven in Gujarat
The Disclosure
What this is. Silk. Single ikat: the weft is resist-dyed to the pattern before weaving.
What this is not. NOT a Patan Patola. Patan Patola is a double ikat from a very small production, and this piece is not one. We call it Patola-style because that is what it is.

Measured on the same scale for every saree we sell, so two pieces can be compared honestly rather than described poetically.

About this piece
We have deliberately not called this a Patola. It is a single ikat in the same visual idiom, and the difference is structural, verifiable and reflected in the price.
